Drew McIntyre has stepped up to confront Roman Reigns in recent weeks, setting himself up as the next potential challenger to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Reigns unified the titles at WrestleMania 38 when he defeated Brock Lesnar. While there is just one World Championship in WWE, the brand split still remains with Raw and SmackDown having separate rosters.
Speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, McIntyre was asked about having one champion for two brands.
"If we’ve got separate rosters, I kind of prefer the idea of a champion for each show. At the same time, we just had WrestleMania and we needed a huge match. Brock had one title, Roman had the other title. It made for a very interesting … I don’t want to use the word stupendous, but it made for a very, very big match and now we are kind of with in the fall out of that huge match, that huge WrestleMania and we’ll see what happens. I kind of like the idea of a champion representing each brand. We have those separate brands, so somebody has to take down Roman at least for one of those titles," said McIntyre.
McIntyre is set to team with RK-Bro (Riddle & Randy Orton) against The Bloodline (Roman Reigns & The Usos) at WrestleMania Backlash on Sunday.
